ginger

Rice is a great side dish for so many meals but plain white rice is boring! The terrific thing about rice is it can get all gussied up and fit right in with darned near anything! When I make Asian dishes or if I’m making something that has that tropical vibe I make my Pineapple Ginger Rice.

My family loves these Ginger Lemon Mini Muffins and the mini size is perfect for my husband. The lemon adds brightness and the heat of the ginger comes through at the end. With a cup of Earl Grey tea, they’re the perfect Sunday morning treat. They can, of course, be made into full size muffins, just increase the baking time to about 12 -15 minutes.

First I gathered my ingredients

After mincing the ginger I added the sugar and heated the mixture. It smelled so good!

By the final step in mixing I was ready to just grab a spoon!

These little darlings are ready to bake.

I got 4 dozen mini muffins and I expect about 16 full size muffins would be about right for this recipe.
